It’s easy enough to get lost in the surreal and mind-numbing speed at which each piece cruises, yet if you dive in just a little farther, a myriad of complex and flickering melodies float just below its roughened edges.
Reviews
Autechre :: Draft 7.30 & Confield Reissues (Warp)
One could imagine Autechre’s music as a lumbering, semi-amorphous creature cannibalized and synthesized with parts from electro, hip-hop, industrial, noise, free jazz, and plain old experimental music.
Arovane :: Sinter (laaps)
What I hear consistently through each track is a fascination for the drone concept, extended tones, often decorated by interesting and harmonious field sounds and counter tones.
Dr. Atmo & DF Tram :: Wish For The Sun EP (SEALT)
The ambient maestro, Dr. Atmo, and the downtempo electronic music producer, DF Tram, have collaborated on an album that is really out of this world.
Dog Balls :: Tell It To My Dog EP (Clear Memory)
Hayter and Milium draw on a spread of styles to produce their unique sound, toying with the seriousness of genre tags while seriously surprising the listener along the way.
Antonina Car :: Immersed Sensibilities (Time Released Sound)
Immersed Sensibilities is an attempt to transcribe feelings, stories, and events into a synthetic, self-contained sonic universe.
Michael Valentine West :: COMMS EP (Polygon Network)
Where broken sound bytes and data crunching tend to blend, the tiniest melodic hiccups transition into densely packed electronics.
K.L.O :: Slow Mode (Colony Productions)
That smudged area between hip-hop, bass music, turntablism, manipulated vocoders, and abstract electronics is where you’ll comfortably find K.L.O’s Slow Mode album.
